What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Nelson University?

Reported security measures at Nelson University include round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures describe available resources, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should identify how to reach campus security, where to report an emergency or concerning behavior, and how emergency notifications are delivered. The university's current annual security report is the appropriate source for its reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics should be read with their reporting years and locations in mind. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also check the university's current reporting procedures and confidential-support options, which may serve different purposes.
